Now THAT the professional laborers' BIZ
Aveling and bis wife, have returned to Eng
land, the more their accounts are examined
the clearer becomes the fact that like all
others of their set, they were more intent
on their own profit than on furthering the
cause of the people in whose interest they
were proiessedly employed. They were en-
gagged at one hundred dollars week TO
make American workmen Disconnected with
their condition, but, not satisfied with that,
they swelled their bin by large sums for
parlor car fare, wines, cigars, bouquets kid
gloves, and other nigh priced luxuries, III
which the men who pay the assessments by
which the labor fund is maintained, can i'll
afford to indulge. And then, to show that
they are swindlers, it has been discovered
thet most Of the expense referred to was
never incurred, and that most of that that
was. was paid by local assemblies.

thursday EVENING, JANUARY 10.

IT Is understood that some of the mem
beers of the committee on pensions OF the

majority, are opposed to the Senate bill CIV
ing a pension to Mrs. Logan. They are
right; unless it be the determination OF Con:
gress to give the widow of every man who
was in the Union army, and of every u :.
Senator, an annual pension of two thousand
dollars. There is no precedent for sucn 6
pension as the proposed one for Mrs. Logan.
Where special pensions to widows OF SOL
,liers have been granted, the benehciaries
have been the widows OF men who spent
their lives iu the army, such men, Tor ID
stance, as General Hancock. In no case has
the widow OF q volunteer officer, who enter
ed the army at the commencement OF the
war and left it at its closs, received special
extra pension, and there are twenty-five
widows of volunteer officers holding the
same rank General Logan held, who have
not been specially pensioned.
